Sequels by other author

Many readers prefer chronological order but many other readers prefer publication order. A good baseline is how the author orders the book - if an author says that the fifth published book must be read first, then I would arrange the series that way.
In this case, Enid Blyton's website lists them in publication order. I think the chronological order should be written in the description.
For Malory Towers http://www.goodreads.com/series/52004... , the German translations have their own sequels http://www.goodreads.com/series/56388... , so should one sequel series getting a different position than another?
With St. Clare's http://www.goodreads.com/series/52009... my problem is that the book are currently in chronological order so some of the books by Pamela Cox are between those of Enid Blyton. I would say that if they stay on this series page they should be in publication order.
